Blood Shot Eyes

Bloodshot Eyes(02-27-51) - Wynonie Harris

Now just because you're pretty and you think you're mighty wise

You tell me that you love me then you roll those big brown eyes

When I saw you last week your eyes were turnin' black

Go find the guy who beat you up ask him to take you back

Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me

I can tell you've been out on a spree

It's plain that you're lyin'

When you see you been cryin'

Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me

Now I used to spend my money just to make you look real sweet

I wanted to be proud of you when we walk down the street

Now don't ask me to dress you up in a satins and in silk

Your eyes look like two cherries in a glass of buttermilk

Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me

I can tell that you've been out on a spree

It's plain that you're lyin'

When you see you've been cryin'

Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me

Now I guess our little romance has finally simmered down

You should join a circus you'd make a real good clown

Your eyes look like a road map I'm scared to smell your breath

You'd better shut those peepers 'fore you bleed to death

Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me

I can tell you've been out on a spree

It's plain that you're lyin'

When you see you've been cryin'

Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me
